IC 1374 is a spiral galaxy in Aquarius
IC 1374 (PGC 066605) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Aquarius . It shines at magnitude 15.0 and spans 38″ × 24″. It is faint: a 10-inch or larger telescope, or a camera, and it is highest in the evening sky in September.
Galaxy: a system of billions of stars, gas and dust held together by gravity, far outside the Milky Way. Spiral galaxies have a disk with arms; elliptical galaxies are smooth, round or oval swarms of older stars.
